What a Transfer Does
It hands the listing over completely. The new owner can edit it, transfer it on again, and decide who helps run it, and you lose every one of those the moment it goes through.
There is no undo on your side. Once it is theirs, only they can give it back.
What the Other Person Needs
An account here with two-factor sign-in turned on. It is not optional, and it is the thing that trips most transfers up.
A listing is worth stealing, so an account receiving one has to be hard to take over. If the person you are transferring to has not turned two-factor on, the picker shows their name greyed out with the reason underneath rather than pretending they do not exist.
Finding Them
The search looks for LecternMC usernames, not gamertags. This catches people out constantly, because the name your friend plays under in game is often nothing like the name on their account here.
Ask them what their username is on the site rather than guessing from their gamertag. Near misses and typos will still find them, so you do not need it spelled perfectly.
Doing It
- Step 1. Open the listing and go to its settings
- Step 2. Press Transfer ownership
- Step 3. Search for the person and pick them
- Step 4. Enter a code from your own authenticator
- Step 5. Hold the confirm button until it finishes
Your own two-factor code is asked for at the end because this is the one thing you can do to a listing that cannot be undone. The button is a hold rather than a press for the same reason.
Managers Are the Lighter Option
If you only want help running the listing, add a manager instead. A manager can edit it, and cannot transfer it, delete it, or change who else manages it.
Managers need two-factor as well, and they are added from the same place. Whoever owns the listing stays answerable for it.
